One of the ways we manage life with a disability is to stay as active as we can. But staying active when you have a disability looks a lot different than it does for able-bodied people. Whether traveling to an accessible location, finding equipment that we can use, or locating a coach ready and able to help us stay active - it becomes more complicated with a disability.
We hope to encourage any of our listeners with disabilities to apply for a grant through CAF. Both Sean and Kyle can attest to the unbelievable medicine that is staying active, despite disability. Do not let the word “Athlete” in the organization’s title intimidate you. Their grants are for people at all levels of activity- whether you are looking for an adaptive machine or a gym membership for the first time or whether you are a trained Paralympic athlete.
